Fun and engaging experience! - I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Mexico City! Carlo and Yaier were wonderful tour guides and were very knowledgeable! Xochimilco was the highlight, I wish it was longer than 1-hour! Don’t forget to bring cash for boat vendors selling drinks, snacks, and mariachi entertainment! Coyoacán was a cool area to eat and walk around before heading to the Frida house museum. The museum was interesting, and we enjoyed learning more about her life!

Excellent - Very entertaining tour. The tour guide Sergio Lopez and the bus driver Cesar were great. Sergio was very entertaining. And Cesar would always have the bus right there waiting for us when our tours were done.

Take Frida Kahlo option with the tour - The tour guide did a fantastic job of explaining the significance of the place and did regular head count. Do take the option of the Frida Kahlo museo as tickets sell out from the website ahead of time and the tour buys them for you and provide transportation and guides you

A Good Way to Get Your Feet Wet on the First Day - This is a good "experience" to wet your feet once you arrive and get settled into CDMX. It was one of several options the concierge at our hotel, The Andaz Condesa, recommended. You're taken out on a large gondola/boat (go early or else the waterway gets clogged with other gondolas - also, skip bfast, as they will usually have tortillas ready for you to eat). Coyoacan was nice on a week day (NOT a weekend, when it becomes a tourist trap. There, you can just walk around the park and surrounding parks, shop, mainly eat, etc. You get a better sense of the residents on the weekdays than the weekends. Frida Kahlo Museum is confronting. Take time beforehand to research her life in general and her relationship to CDMX. When you approach the museum, please look around the neighbourhood; it is breathtaking and probably one of the most beautiful neighbourhoods in the city. I think most people will say that the museum will take you 30 minutes to get through. I would double that and really immerse yourself in the expanse of her crafts and the brilliance of her artistic being in the face of tragedy. She is truly remarkable. ***Before you go for the exit, be sure to go to the right and up the steps to see her dresses. Wow! You won't want to miss those!

Good but could be better - Carlos and the other guide (Jaril?) we’re really nice, efficient, clear in their explanations, fun and knowledgeable. I also finally got to see the Frida Kahlo museum, which had been a challenge. However the visit of Xochimilco and UNAM were disapointing, and the first stop at Senior Rafael’s shop really felt like a tourist trap. I don’t think it was worth going out of our itinerary for that. I would have loved to spend more time in UNAM, to visit the library and walk around the campus. And the boat in Xochimilco was again nothing but a tourist trap. There was very little room for us to learn about the canals and irrigation system, or about the wildlife and the indigenous culture around the lake. It would be a lot more interesting to hear from a historian or a biologist about what make Xochimilco so unique.

Needs improvement - I will not disclose this information but English speaking guide needs improvement. He needs to be closer to people and keep them informed.

Missed main attraction - a bit disappointing - This tour was a bit disappointing. In the early morning, the guide took us to 2-hour silverstore shopping, which wasn’t on the itinerary. In the later afternoon, due to lack of time and road closure, we skipped the main attraction of this tour, boat ride at Xochimilco.
